What the hell?! I mean, normal people, they see a monster, and they run. But not us, no, no, no, we -- we search out things that want to kill us. Yeah? Huh?
Or eat us! You know who does that? Crazy people! We...are insane!

Ausiello: The FX western is recruiting a new batch of freaks for Season 4, and they include a rule-bending military police sergeant who shares a past with Boyd, a fugitive family man who teams up with a pair of drug addicts, a local Constable who went to high school with Raylan, and a charismatic young preacher who starts cutting into Boyd’s profits. Bonus Spoiler: The Season 4 premiere is titled “Hole in the Wall.”

We collect all of your Justified emails and print them out, and now our office has fancy wallpaper. Kidding, that would be weird. But seriously, we have Justified scoop for you about the season-four premiere. Prepare to meet Colt, an old friend of Boyd's who has a war-ridden past as a sergeant with the military police. And by friend of Boyd's, we mean someone who has arrested Boyd several times! But that's all water under the bridge, because Boyd will soon use his ties with Colt to his advantage. Drama, thy name is Justified.

In Season 4, we'll head up into the mountains of Kentucky to meet the hill people, a dangerous backwoods group of ruffians who aren't all there, if you know what we're saying. The leader of the group, Cope Entiss, tends to capture and kill any outsiders who trespass into their territory. Turns out, though, that one of the hill people, Mary, recognizes Raylan... and may be related to him.

PREVIOUSLY ON... | Raylan discovered that his own father was willing to risk killing him in the name of protecting Boyd. Daddy dearest also took the fall for Devil's murder, thereby sparing Boyd a potential lifetime behind bars. Elsewhere, Quarles lost a limb (and his life), Ava turned a darker shade of cray-cray when she beat one of her prostitutes to a pulp, and Raylan promised Winona he'd be there for their child.

COMING UP NEXT | The premiere, which picks up roughly three months later, introduces a 30-year-old mystery that exec producer Graham Yost says "forms the spine" of Season 4. Raylan's dalliance with bartender Lindsay turns into a full-blown romance. He's also grappling with impending fatherhood — although Yost says his child with ex Winona (The Following's Natalie Zea, who returns for several episodes) will not be born this season. Meanwhile, Boyd and Ava are forced to confront both "the difficulty of running an ongoing criminal enterprise" and "their future together." On the guest star front, Ron Eldard and Patton Oswalt join the cast in recurring roles, while Jere Burns returns as Wynn Duffy and ends up "being part of the drive" to solve that aforementioned mystery.

What can you tell me about the new season of Justified? — Will
ADAM: Even though Winona has left Raylan behind, he seems to be doing all right for himself. You'll see a lot more of bartender Lindsey, both behind the bar and between the sheets. But she's hiding a secret that could rock Raylan's world. Speaking of secrets, Boyd seems to be even less trusting of his partners than usual this season. That may have something to do with the secret stash of cash he's keeping from everyone — including Ava!
